My shotgun season has actually been going pretty well. Opening day was a bust, first time in years that I haven't seen a deer on the first day.

This last saturday was a good day in my neck of the woods though, alot of guys out moving the deer, and we had about 6" of fresh snow. At first light I had two mature does and a fawn come by me and I took one of the does at about 18 yards with a slug, the shot was beautiful and she ran about 60 yards.....double lung. Two other guys on the same property also took a doe a couple hours later.

Took yesterday morning off, and man did the woods look different with all the trees bent over........I'm surprised I found my way in. I was beat by the time I got to the area I wanted to hunt, at 8:00 I had 5 does and 2 fawns walk by me at 15 yards and head into the swamp to bed down. Then at 9:00 while I was lowering my gun I looked up and saw more brown, a scrubby little spike and another fawn came by me at 5 yards, glad they didn't detect me at all becuase I want to set up a couple friends in the area this weekend for their first deer.

Hope this saturday will be another good hunt, the weather doesn't look too bad and I've got a feeling there will be alot of guys out keeping them moving around.

Good luck out there for the last hurrah!
